"What's that?"
I was at a festival in Holland, and the vaguely mainstream, distinctly regional accented band The Pigeon Detectives were playing. Afterwards, they were going to have a signing session. I sort of liked the music, and figured I wouldn't get a chance like this for a while, so I bought the album, and went up to get it signed.

As I was working my way along the line, the bassist was having a cigarette, I remembered that I had a joint in my pocket, this being Holland and all, I felt that it was almost criminal not to be carrying. I whipped it out, put it on the table, and asked him "Would you like something else to smoke?"

He looked at it, blankly. His mate, however, quickly put it in his pocket. The bassist looked, confusedly at this mate, and asked "What's that?". His mate, sighing resignation, replied "It's a spliff". The bassist, let out a penny-dropping "Oohhh" and was silent.

You're a bassist, in a "successful" rock band, and you can't even recognise a spliff? How rock and roll are you?

I think that says...
...it all about the Pigeon Detectives. I assume the phrase "successful rock band" was used entirely sarcastically.

They were
the biggest group to play at our uni last year. Which again, says a lot less about them than it does about the uni.

They are fucking hopeless
The only good news is that I bet both of my testicles they will have vanished without trace within 1-2 years.

Like so many 'latest thing' bands.

Thank Christ.
